More about the Razzett tal-Hbiberija animals' tragedy.

From today's THE TIMES. Ms Schiro from San Gwann writes:

Reading the newspaper on October 3 filled me with disgust to say the least. First the cowardly act of the ranger being shot at, then the barbaric nightmare that occurred at Ir-Razzett tal-Hbiberija.
If nothing is done to curb these heartless criminals, from now on, all the Maltese will be guilty of such crimes.
The headlines should read:
We killed an innocent deer.
We shot so many birds.
We hurt so many horses.
We maltreated dogs and cats.
Shall I go on? It is truly sickening.
Most of all the angels at Ir-Razzett tal-Hbiberija are left with a void so difficult to explain. The chain in their vital routine has been broken.
So the time has come to take action and again I ask "Why kill the deer?"


So far, there hasn't been the howl of protest from the general public as there was when hundreds of trees were vandalised near the Torri l-Ahmar on top of Mellieha Bay. I wonder why. After all, with all due respect to trees - which I love very much! - animals are sentient beings as much as us, human beings! So, why isn't there so much fuss?

It is also a pity that the management at the Razzett only spoke about how the animals' loss is going to affect their children. After all, who cares about the animals?

This having been said, one wonders what actions is being taken by the Police, if at all. After all, this is Malta - a small island where everyone knows what everyone else is doing. So, how can one possibly hide the presence of such animals as monkeys and deer, unless they are being housed in some 'lonely' farm or garage? Police should take note!
